When NFL legend Tom Brady retired at the end of last season, the Buccaneers acted quickly, signing veteran Baker Mayfield to add to the quarterback room as the presumed heir apparent to Brady under center.
Tampa Bay had former Florida quarterback Kyle Trask on the roster, after using a second round pick on him in the 2021 NFL draft. Now, it appears that not only is Trask pushing Mayfield to make the quarterback competition interesting, but he could ultimately win the job.
New Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Dave Canales said that while Mayfield’s experience helped him get off to a fast start this summer, things have “absolutely” tightened in recent days.
